She returns to the Quality Time Podcast to discuss the critical topic of trauma-informed care. Carrie examines how trauma impacts a child’s neural development and highlights the vital role of self-compassion for educators supporting children through these challenges. She also shares practical tools to help educators create supportive and nurturing learning environments.
